What upcoming games this year are you most excited for?

Personally, I can't wait for Resident Evil 5!! But other than that, I'm pretty excited for:

• Splinter Cell: Conviction
• Dark Void
• Bionic Commando
• Tom Clancy's HAWX
• Damnation
• Terminator Salvation
• Alan Wake

For the blue controller I'm thinking about replacing the thumbsticks, dpad, and the chrome thing on the bottom so it can match the black thumbsticks and start / back button.OG_BiG_Munny

I'm getting XBL soon... but I'm just curious, when will NXE be available to non-XBL users?

Q If I'm not an Xbox LIVE member, how do I get the update?

AThis fall you will need to be connected to Xbox LIVE to download the system update, however we will be making the update available to non-Xbox LIVE members very soon. Your Xbox 360 will continue work in an offline mode, without the update.
